"SUCCESS IS NAUGHT: ENDEAVOUR'S ALL'
- Browning
Barbara Fletcher, Head Girl; Mrs. Blyth, Headmistress; Wendela Roberts, Senior Prefect.
Head Mistress' Letter
Dear Elmwood,
I have only just discovered that the word "school" comes from a Greek
word which means "leisure." This was an interesting discovery because I imagine
that most of you would not associate school with that word and you would probably
meet with some disapproval if your days at Elmwood were all spent in a leisurely
way!
The Greeks did not think of learning as resting, either, but they did believe
that a good education taught a boy to use his spare-time well. And so we find
the Athenians flocking to the theatre day after day for the fun of it— not watching
second-rate plays such as we see so often on TV and the movies, but listening
intently to stories about the deepest and most real issues of human life as they
were presented on the stage. Their dramas have survived the test of over two
thousand years and are still being read and acted today.
The world that is waiting for you when you leave Elmwood looks as if it
is going to offer you more spare time than man has ever known before. We are
told that automation will soon reduce the working-week to three days. All the
up-to-date gadgets that are being invented to make housework quicker and easier
are already giving women more free time. How are you going to use all these
leisure hours ? Will you be bored or will you be able to fill these long times of
recreation richly and profitable in the service of God and other people.
The training for leisure starts at school, as the Greeks knew, and so I
would urge you to read about and ponder the wonderful world in which you live,
to paint and sew and make music to write poems and stories and plays (even
if they never get as far as the Samara) and to keep your minds alert to the kind
of lives that people are living, far away from Canada. Sui Sang, our adopted
son in Hong-Kong, has opened our eyes, hasn't he, to the poverty and overcrowding
of Chinese children? There is so much for you to do now and when you grow up
and so many opportunities for you to make this world a more blessed place
because you have been born.
Robert Bridges tells us to be busy making and doing worthwhile things
even if it seems that they do not all amount to a row of beans." We may not end
up as female Picassos or Richard Burtons, but we shall have been givers not
getters:
I love all beauteous things,
I seek and adore them;
God hath no better praise.
And man in his hasty days.
Is honoured for them.
I too will something make
And joy in the making;
Altho' to-morrow it seem
Like the empty words of a dream
Remembered on waking.
God bless you all.
Your affectionate friend and headmistress,
a

EDITORIAL
"A good school should give a person two great things: first, it will surround one with a
tradition and a standard of behaviour and second, a sense of interdependence and membership
one of another."
We feel that this statement is very true of Elmwood. We have many traditions which we
treasure, among the most important of them our morning prayer service. This begins the day
in the proper spirit and teaches us to face any difficulties with courage. Another important
activity (although a fairly recent one) is the Annual Charity Public Speaking Contest. From
these speeches we learn about the troubles and problems of those less fortunate than ourselves
Aside from these charities, we have also adopted a young Chinese child -Yung Sui Sang. He
has done a great deal for us, in making us realize the true meaning of gratitude. This little
boy is so genuinely thankful for the smallest contribution that we make that we begin to feel
a sense of family membership with him - caring about him and hoping he cares about us.
Our standard of behaviour is high, although admittedly we do not always live up to it.
We do try, however, and the general impression that visitors have of our school is of a happy
and well-disciplined group of girls. This is what a good school can offer. The classes are small,
so that an enforced, regimented type of discipline is not necessary. We feel that the most
valuable type of discipline is self-discipline. All our efforts at Elmwood are directed towards
this goal.
We hope that everyone will long cherish the traditions which have come to mean 'Elmwood'!
Best of luck to all!

House Notes
THE HOUSE SYSTEM
As each new girl comes to Elmwood, she enters one of three Houses; Fry, Keller and
Nightingale. Keller House is, however, comprised of Boarding School girls only. The day girls
are divided between Fry and Nightingale.
It is through these three Houses that House and School spirit arises and competition is
keen. The school demerit system is chanelled through the Houses and in this way each girl is
responsible to her House. All academic achievements, sports, and often behavior are important
to the success of each House. At the completion of the School year the points of each House are
totalled and the one with the highest score wins the cup presented to the House Head.
This year we have had certainly three splendid House Heads who have tried in every way
to create strong House spirit and inter-House competition.

Fry House Notes
Dear Fry,
This note is not meant to be just another paragraph in the Samara. It is meant really to
mean something! The message it contains is this: -
Many thanks to you for being what you are. I think the best house in Elmwood. Fry has done
well this year in sports, academically and especially in putting into action these words -
"Friendship to All"
I know you will make 1964-65 a bigger and better for the next head of Fry.
With love to you all,
Cathy.

Keller House Notes
Dear Kellerites,
Once again it is June and the close of another year. For six of us it is our final year and
the end of our boarding school life. But just before we leave let us look back upon the past year.
In inter-house sports Keller won the Basketball and Volleyball Competitions through the
loyalty of our teams who always upheld our House Motto "Fair Play" and by the expert coaching
of Kate and Deb.
Our year was started with a dance to welcome all new girls not only to Keller but also
Nightingale and Fry. Our new girls became part of our family. We all had loads of fun making
the decorations for our "Tiki-Kon" dance in which we tied for second place. It was well worth
the work to bring the new boarders into our friendly family atmosphere.
On behalf of the boarders we should like to express our thanks to our House Mother and
nurse, Miss Robinson, and the rest of the House Staff. We should also like to thank the Day
School Staff who came with us on our Saturday excursions.
We are both proud to have been your house heads this past year through the good times
as well as the bad. Everyone of you contributed to making Keller House what it is - an individual
personality which only one, who is a boarder, can understand. To the boarders and the future
house heads may we wish you all the best.
Love
Jay and Kit

Boarders' Notes
•OUR HEAD BOARDERS'
We boarders here at Elmwood have had two wonderful 'heads', Jeanette MacDonald, fondly
nicknamed 'Jay' and- Katherine Heaman, our 'Kit'. They have both been very successful and
have fully proved their abilities to take command, to be responsible for the actions of the
restless boarders, to cheer up gloomy faces, to maintain quiet when it is wanted, to help and
to keep a happy atmosphere in the residence at all times.
New boarders came in last September, and were often seen wandering about, hopelessly
lost; but, with the patience and understanding of Jay and Kit, they were soon laughing and
talking with the old crowd, and suddenly feeling as if they had lived here for years. We have
had someone to turn to in trouble and this is a wonderful feeling, greatly needed, in any boarding-
school.
We shall also miss the cheery faces of the 6 Matric boarders. Veda and her ready smile,
Gail and her funny remarks, Ellie and her full five feet and one and three quarter inches, Patsy
with her Mexican accent and last but not least by far, our two wonderful, all-round head
boarders, Jay and Kit.

Nightingale House Notes
Dear Nightingale,
Twelve years ago I trotted tearfully into the nursery school of Elmwood, and now, equally
sadly, I am about to leave the feverish atmosphere of 6 Matric. All the years in between have
been happy, but none so r"ewarding as this, when I have had the pleasure of leading Nightingale.
Each and every one of you has made a wonderful contribution in her own field; 1 particularly
thank the juniors, who, through their excellent academic achievements and good behaviour,
have helped us win so many red stars. They may have to wait a year or two before they reap
the rewards which come with senior school life, but their enthusiastic co-operation I cannot
forget.
To the older girls go my thanks for their keen support and efforts during the year in all
house activities, climaxed by our tying for the Senior Cup on Sports Day. Also from the senior
school have come many active monitors whose help could always be relied upon. This year we
were honoured to have both the Head Girl and Head Prefect from Nightingale.
I have been very proud to be in the house whose members so well uphold its motto; "Not
for ourselves alone," It is those "little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness" which
make our characters, and though it may sometimes not seem like it, those "little acts" are
noticed and remembered.
So thank you for your cheerfuUness and your support. Good luck to all of you next year,
wherever you may be.
Love,
Caroline

SPORTS NOTES
This year once again, sports played an important role in the school activities. Sports have
been under the direction of Miss, Driscoll who put in much time and effort to organize Inter-
house Volleyball and Basketball. The Volleyball and Basketball game caused much excitement
as all games were very close. However, Keller won both sports under the leadership of Debbie
Monk and Katie Scott. Sandy Burke- Robertson and Audrey Loeb, sports captains of Fry and
Nightingale, whole-heartedly encouraged their teams and the sportsmanship of all the girls was
evident.
The highlight of the Basketball season was the game against Strathallan. It was a quick-
moving game and the score was very even. However, Elmwood won 37-35. Everyone enjoyed
this exchange weekend!
This year Miss. Driscoll decided to have the whole school do rhythmlic exercises on Sports
Day. The school in the end rose to the occasion, for during rehearsals many people did not
know the correct timing and this caused problems! Our hard work paid off!
Tennis and badminton enthusiasts were often seen on the tennis courts and on the grounds,
and those who practiced conscientiously had a chance to show their skill in the tournaments held.
Skiing and skating were the popular winter sports. Often at break and lunch the skating
rink was occupied with girls from all grades.
Many thanks to all who helped with the school sports activities and I hope next year that
all the girls will carry on sports with enthusiasm and a sense of fair play.

INTER-SCHOOL WEEKEND
On the week-end of February 22nd, Elmwood and Ashbury were hosts to Hillfield and
Strathallan College, Hamilton.
Some of the Strathallan girls stayed here at school while the others were guests of the day
girls. Thank you very much, day girls, for your kind hospitality. I am sure the girls enjoyed it
immensely.
On Saturday morning the basketball game between Strathallan and Elmwood was played in
the Rockcliffe Park Public School gym. The game was fast moving and extremely exciting. It
was a close game all the way and stiff competition for both teams. It proved to be a victorious
day for Elmwood as we won 37 - 35 — a close score which we achieved with the expert coaching
of Miss DriscolL In the afternoon there was a hockey game at the Rockcliffe Airport Rink be-
tween Ashbury and Hillfield which everyone enjoyed! Ashbury defeated Hillfield 3-1 in a most
thrilling game. It was a most successful day for Elmwood and Ashbury.
To end the week-end Ashbury held 'their Football Dance' which was also their last dance
of the year. 'The Esquires' provided the musical entertainment. We particularly enjoyed their
take offs of 'The Beatles'.
Our guests left on Sunday morning to drive back to Hamilton.
It was a most exciting and unusual week-end for us and I hope that these exchange visits
may continue in the coming years.
Our thanks to Mrs. Blyth, Miss DriscoU and to Mrs. R. S. Bruce of Strathallan for arrang-
ing a wonderful week-end.

SKI TEAM REPORT
This year, four enthusiastic skiers,
Nancy, Wendela, Barb, and myself set out to
represent Elmwood in the Ann Heggtveit
inter-school ski meet held this year at the
Vorlage Ski Club at Wakefield, Quebec. Al-
though our racing ability was not quite as
good as our enthusiasm we all had a wonder-
ful time and agreed that it was a great ex-
perience. Unfortunately our team did not
place but Nancy Ladner did very well and
came eighth in the combined placing.
Skiing throughout the year was very good.
Everyone enjoyed getting out in the sun after
a hard week at school and we hope some
new skiers will improve and carry just as
much spirit into next year's competition.
Best of luck anyway and remember "Success
is naught; endeavour's all."

THE JUNIOR DRAMA
The Junior Drama Class this year has been very interesting right from the early prepara-
tions for our Christmas Morality Play, to the much-practiced Drama Workshop and "Major
vVhiskers." The patience of Mrs, Hicks is unmatched when it comes to disciplining a group of
very talkative girls. During the year we have also practiced falling down, or beening pushed
down so much that we are rather bruised; we have done character acting, such as playing an old
lady with a cane and an unpleasant disposition, or a vivacious teenager.
The entire drama class would like to thank Mrs. Hicks for providing us with a keen inter-
est in the Dramatic Arts, and we look forward to next year, whether in the Junior or In-
termediate School.

FOOTBALL ANYONE?
"Hey! Hey! Take it away! Take the ball the other way!" This was Elmwood's theme song for
a month because for the first time we attended the football semi-finals in Ottawa, It was excit-
ing, thrilling, and loads of fun despite 90° heat, pouring rain, snow, and freezing weather.
Of course the right team didn't always win but as the French say, "C'est la football!" We
weren't always agreed about who we wanted to win but variety is the spice of life and it was a
spicy month for us this fall!
When Elmwood invaded the stadium 'en masse' (once or twice we made up half the spectator
stands) the sale of peanuts and cokes rose considerably and the vendor yelling, "Red hots! Red
hots!" rarely had to worry about his commission when he approached our section.
"Lean to the left! Lean to the right! Sit down! Stand up! Fight! Fight! Fight!" These were
familiar sounds from our corner. Even when the score was against us our cheers were
the loudest and most enthusiastic at the Ottawa - Montreal, Ottawa - Toronto and Ottawa-
Hamilton games. But of course it's good fan policy to help team spirits and keep them high -
right? Go! Go! Where? Where? We want a touchdown over there!
We'd like to thank Miss Driscoll for putting up with us with such patience, I am sure that at
times she wished she were 1000 miles away with her ear-drums intact and her toes warm and
her hands thawed out.
So we say good-bye to pigskin until next year and "Vive la football".

NATIONAL BALLET
On the evening of January 14th the boarders and those day girls who wished to attend went
to see the "National Ballet" presentation at the Capitol Theatre,
The company put on for the first time two modern ballets as well as one classical, "One
in Five", "Pas De Deux Romantique" and "Giselle". By far the most notable was the production
of "Giselle".
Giselle, a village maiden passes her time dancing with Loys, her sweetheart. The game-
keeper, Hilarion a jealous rival for Giselle's affections, unmasks Loys as Duke Albrecht, a
nobleman, already betrothed. Giselle shocked by the betrayal dies leaving Albrecht and Hilarion
mourning.
I should like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the boarders, to thank Mrs, Blyth for
the trouble she went to in obtaining tickets for this performance.

HIGH TIME
In 1962 Elmwood made its television debut on High Time and this year in January we had
the pleasure of appearing on this programme again. Our panel - Caroline, Patsy, Laurie and
Audrey are certainly to be commended on a very close score with Glebe Collegiate. Though we
did not win, I think we all enjoyed the challenge and the excitement of appearing on television.
Ingrid and Wendela, interviewing Senator Cameron, presented the Banff School of Fine Arts
with great interest and our French Club members with Mme. Trottier certainly added a light
touch to the programme.
Unfortunately there will not be another opportunity to prove ourselves competent panelists
as High Time will not be presented next year. However, we should like to thank all those who
made it such a great success.

SENIOR DRAMA
Every Thursday afternoon from four until five p.m. dramatically-minded girls of 6M, 5A,
and 5B could be found in the gym studying the many aspects of drama under the qualified lead-
ership of Mrs. Hicks.
Many a Thursday afternoon these Elmwood girls were transformed into the fascinating
and challenging characters of Anastatia, Henry IV, Falstaff, Viola and Olivia.
On the afternoon of December nineteenth the drama group performed a morality play "The
Stable" by Charles Williams. This successful play could not have been possible without the
many hours of time which Mrs. Hicks gladly devoted to this performance.
Our final production of the year took place on April thirtieth. It was a workshop production
in which the members of both the junior and senior drama class participated. This too was a
great success and everyone enjoyed it.
I am sure all the girls of our senior drama class for 1964 feel we have profited greatly
from our experience. We should all like to express our deep appreciation and thanks to Mrs.
Hicks for her patience with us.

THE CHOIR
The Choir of 1963-1964 would like to thank Mrs. Edelsten very much for the enjoyable
choir season. Our appreciation of music has been greatly extended through the numerous se-
lections Mrs. Edelsten has taught us. We all feel we have profited from our experience. We
practised every morning, -with much enthusiasm, the different selections which we then sang
before the school and at the Christmas concert. We were all thrilled at the idea of singing on
High Time and due to Mrs. Edelsten's patience, our performance was a success. Once again
our thanks to Mrs. Edelsten for her understanding and hard work.
This year, as usual, the dances had a special meaning to all of us in the senior school. But,
even though the juniors could not attend, they put in much time and effort to make the dances a
success. The seniors looked forward to the dances, weeks ahead, and they caused much excite-
ment.
Our first three dances were sponsored by Keller, Fry and Nightingale. The dance organised
by Keller had the theme, the 'Kon Tiki'. The atmosphere was chilled by the cannibals and dry
ice. This was an original theme, and the boarders did much to make their dance a success.
The theme of Fry's dance was "Winter Wonderland", and the skies, skates, snow flakes,
and pink streamers transformed the Gym into a snow paradise.
Nightingale's dance, which was last, but not least, had the theme of "Seventh Heaven", and
the large silver moon winking at us as we entered the Gym was a topic for conversation.
The spirit of these three dances was lively, due to the fact that the houses were competing
for first place. Fry won, but the decision must have been difficult, as all dances were excel-
lent.
5B sponsored a dance this year to raise money for our foster child Yung Sui Sang. This
was an excellent idea, and the Gym was crowded, for everyone wished to contribute to this
worthy cause. The Gym was decorated simply, but the records and atmosphere were lively.
Thank you, 5B, for giving us a dance and supporting Yung Sui Sang for the summer.
I would like to thank everyone who helped to make all these dances a success. They were
funl

A HAPPY GROUP
THE HALLOWE'EN PARTY
On October 31st, while ghosts, goblins and witches were out trick-or-treating, Elmwood
held its annual Hallowe'en Party. The gym was decorated to suit the mysterious atmosphere of
this festive occasion. As the evening progressed the gym became filled with babies, old ladies,
televisions, flappers. Aunt Jemimas, cats beatniks and many other exciting and exotic people.
Prizes were awarded to the girls who had the most original, beautiful or most amusing cos-
tumes.
After the costumes were judged skits were presented by each form. The highlight of the
evening was the staff skit. Later we all went to the dining room for doughnuts and something
to drink. E-'eryone, young and old, felt that the evening had been a great success thanks to the
supervision of the prefects.

PHILOSOPHY CLUB
Many a Friday night last winter a group of 'philosophers' met to discuss the problems which
puzzled and vexed them. At each of these meetings there was a guest speaker who gave a short
talk and guided a discussion afterwards. Among our guests were The Rev. Bevan Monks, The
Rev. J. Barnett, Canon C. L. G. Bruce, The Rev. H. O'Driscoll, The Rev. M. Peers and The Rev.
Cook. Often 'heated' discussions would develop - such topics as 'predestination', 'is there such
a place as hell?', 'free will' and 'what is heaven?'.
Padre Barnett lent us a recording of the modern folk mass which we played many times and
Canon Bruce gave us a deeper understanding of the Reformation. One evening Mr. O'Driscoll
showed us a film entitled "The Gift". The film was a presentation, by modern symbol, music and
art forms, showing that God's total giving of himself through Jesus demands from human lives
a like giving in return.
Our Philosophy Club is an integral part of our school life, a part much enjoyed, and we would
like to say 'thank you' to all our guests and to Mrs. Blyth.
OEDIPUS REX
On Saturday night, October 26, the girls of 5A and 6M journeyed to Glebe Collegiate to see
a production of "Oedipus Rex." This is an ancient Greek tragedy by Sophocles, and was vividly
portrayed with simple sets and few elaborate costumes. A chorus related our thoughts as an
audience, back to us, and this added to the rather tragic elements present throughout the play.
During the intermission and going home on the bus, much discussion took place concern-
ing "Oedipus." Reactions to the production were mixed, but in History and English periods that
followed, we talked about and weighed the merits of the play which we had viewed.
This was an experience never to be forgotten by those who went to see "Oedipus Rex." It
gave us a glimpse of Greek ideas and culture of thousands of years ago. All who went agree
that it was an enjoyable and instructive evening, and we hope to see again another production,
similar in, merit, to that of "Oedipus Rex."

THE HALLOWEEN party
PUBLIC SPEAKING
In the fall Elmwood held its annual public speaking contest. The contestants were chosen by
their English teachers as the best speakers in their forms. The theme of the speeches was "My
Favourite Charity." It was a morning of great excitement as girl after girl presented her speech.
Although we could not all be winners everyone profited greatly from this experience.
Elizabeth Greenberg won the Junior Public Speaking Prize with a very appealing speech on
the Ottawa Rehabilitation Centre. Ann Thurn was the well-deserving winner of the Intermediate
Prize. Her topic was the Neighbourhood Services. Because of the keen competition among the
seniors Ingrid Gluzman and Diane Nancekivell tied for first place. Ingrid reminded us of the
veterans who were injured during the two World Wars in the fight for our freedom. Diane's
moving speech of her experiences working with underprivileged children inspired us all. Every-
one is to be congratulated for her fine efforts.
The public speaking contest was not only instructive and entertaining but it helped us de-
cide to which charity we would donate money. I certainly hope that this fine tradition will be
carried on in the future.
THE UNITED NATIONS
Address by Brenda Ruth Firestone
Elmwood School, October 1963
Every year on October 24 people all over the world pay tribute to the United Nations. But
what exactly is the United Nations? It is an organization which came into being on this day 18
years ago and comprises 111 countries. The United Nations is the one meeting place where the
representatives of all member nations, the great and the small, the rich and the poor, the strong
and the weak - spokesmen for all political views, social systems and cultures and religions, are
freely heard.
It is a chain held together by the collective will of the people and its strength depends on
its weakest link.
The basic purpose of the United Nations is to maintain order and security in the world. The
United Nations is also concerned with many other matters, political, economic, social and cul-
tural. In essence, it is an organization aiming at improving the wellbeing of man.
Great men have been associated with the United Nations. One man deserves special tribute.
Dag Hammers jold, the second Secretary General of the United Nations, served loyally the cause
of peace until his untimely death in Africa when acting as a mediator in the Congo crises.
To celebrate this day with parades and speeches, however, is not enough. Our goal must be
to achieve for the world lasting peace and for its people full freedom from tyranny and hunger.
Disarm, decolonise, develop - these are the three key objectives which the great majority of
mankind strive for and which must be achieved if the principle of equal opportunity enshrined
in the U.N. Charter is to be realized. Disarm so that the world shall not forever stand on the
edge of hell. Decolonize so that men everywhere shall forever be free and equal in national
rights and dignity. Develop, so that the present widening gap between the rich and poor shall be
bridged.
The most recent achievement of the United Nations is to agree to ban the testing of nuclear
weapons in outer space. This is another milestone in the intensive efforts of devoted men to
avoid an atomic holocaust which would mean the end of civilization as we know it.
Thus, the United Nations is not only an edifice of the fulfilment of man's dreams. It is a
challenge as well as an opportunity to all nations and their leaders to act on the premise that
world security and world prosperity are indivisible. Such a cause deserves the wholehearted
support of everybody believing in high moral principles.
UPPER CANADA VILLAGE
On the fifth of October the boarding school went by bus to Upper Canada Village - some day girls
too. We left the school early arriving at the village at 11:30 a.m. We split into two groups and
started our tour.
Upper Canada Village was started a few years ago and houses were transferred from all around
the countryside to form this famous village. These houses date from the 1800's to the end of
the century.
I am certain everyone will agree that one of the most interesting things we saw was the agri-
culture and automobile museum. We were shown a buggy called the 'Baruche' that the Queen
Mother rode in when she came to visit.
After our visit to the village and a delicious lunch, we had a long trip back as our bus broke
down !
Without the help of Mme. Trottier and Mrs, Eraser the trip would not have been nearly as en-
joyable,

The Elmwood
Formal
Friday, April 3rd dawned drizzly
and cold, so typical of Elmwood for-
mal weather. However in great con-
trast was the electrifying atmosphere
of fun and excitement which always
accompanies the climax of our social
season. Our formal was held at the
Royal Ottawa Golf Club and once
again it was a great success.
Upon arrival we found that Donald
Metcalfe and his band were setting
our toes tapping and a " gorgeous
buffet supper waiting for
us.
We danced the evening
away and it ended with
a 'Staff Twist Contest'.
Wonderful fun, our staff
aren't all books after all!
Mrs. Blyth and Dr.
Laidler were the win-
ners with Mr. & Mrs.
Roberts in second place.
Our thanks go to Mar-
die Aldous and her com-
mittee, Debbie Gill,
Sandy Burke- Robertson
and Barbara. Fletcher
for our 'fornial - 64*.

Form Notes
Form IV C
Form IV C and IV B became so large
that IV C separated from IV B in the fall.
In it are girls from IMexico, France, England,
U.S.A. as well as from Canada, so we are a
small United Nations. The form room which
used to be the Cinderalla of the school has
been transformed by fluorescent lighting,. The
girls added to the look of their classroom by
their own drawings, charts and maps. Al-
though small, IV C is an attractive- place.
Harriet can dance,
And Susan sing,
Julie can climb
Teresa's on the wing.
Freda's just come
And Brenda too.
Christine speaks French
Ah! Oui Monsieur.

Be quiet all
We'll never get lessons

I SAW IT HAPPEN
As I walked through the halls of the Vincent Hospital for the Deaf 1 heard the playful shouts
of the small children.
1 had worked as a nurse at the hospital for two years and had grown to know most of the
children quite welL Most of them had been deaf since birth or from some disease which they
had had when they were quite young.
1 felt an obligation to these children because I felt that since God had given me the wonder-
ful gift of hearing 1 should help those less fortunate.
At that moment I was thinking of the new device which I had been aiding Dr. Rowland in
assembling for the past six months. It was a new hearing aid which could help greatly in the
teaching of the deaf. With a simple operation it would enable the totally deaf to hear almost
perfectly.
Working with Dr. Rowland had been a very exciting experience for me, especially since
I knew that if the aid proved to be successful, the first patient would be little Jimmy Brown
who had been at the hospital for five years. This meant that Jimmy might have a chance to
lead a normal life.
This was the day that the aid was to be tested and as I walked to the lab I prayed that it
would prove successful.
After the tests, the aid was approved and the operating table was prepared for Jimmy.
Soon we were sitting beside Jimmy's bed waiting for him to awake to show us the result.
Suddenly one eye opened and then the other. We all waited breathlessly, while Jimmy's
mother said his name. Jimmy did not reply. I tensed up, and again she repeated "Jimmy".
Then came the results! Jimmy slowly sat up and held out his arms to his mother saying as
well as he could, "Mommy, I hear you."
Two week later as I waved good-bye to Jimmy I could not help feeling that I had helped
to give him his hearing. I felt that I had seen it all happen - the happiness of a small boy at
hearing his mothers voice for the first time.

THE ROADWAY NON-CONFORMIST
My mother is one of the many non-
conformists of the road. She loves speed and
is very vivacious in her driving which ex-
presses originality of thought. Seat belts are
decorations although I heard complaints for
over a month on their expense. She creates
extra lanes on the road or takes up twol
She might run over a squirrel but it runs
out from under the car on the other side.
If she finds herself in a ditch, she drives
out very nonchalantly. Yellow lights are
driven through with her calm self-assurance
that they will not turn red, different from
most people who race with time through
orange lights. On winter icy roads she steps
on the gas with the result that the tires
spin even more helplessly. After I tell her
to slow down to allow the itires to get a grip,
she tells me she likes the spinning noise.
In the trunk is a shovel and sandbags for
emergency, but I doubt with all the canvasses
in the back whether she would ever be able
to find them. Her main fear is that she
will one day drive away without detaching her
outside heating cord and drag the whole house
down the street with her. My fears are many!

BALLAD OF A MUSTANG
In the last rays of the setting sun.
Outlined bright and clear.
Stood a noble mustang guarding his herd.
Proud and with nothing to fear.
But mournful and low from the hills below,
Came a long, eerie howl.
The message flashed from one to another:
The wolves were on the prowl!
Narrow and steep, up hill and down dale.
The wolves followed close behind.
The mustang guarding his little ones
Was not at the head but the hind.
Then out like a flash, shot a wolf in the night.
And the mustang bared his teeth.
Then quick as a wink, encircled by eyes
Surrounded; and he must fight these!
He kicked, he bit, he was fighting for life.
Must our noble mustang die?
Though greatly outnumbered win he did
And back to his herd he must fly.
This is the ballad of a mighty horse,
There were many like him long ago.
O take me back to the wide prairie
Where again I may see them roam.
THE LUMBERJACK
(in the Chaucerian manner)
This lumberjack was poor as poor could be.
And not too suited to go out to tea,
For he was big, tall and really dirty.
And his age was at least forty plus thirty.
Upon his head was a certain hat
Worn in all seasons, we can be sure of that.
Never changing were his pants of brown.
Not even to sleep would he use a night gown.
His shirts of flannel, of which he had two
One which was red and the other of blue.
Were his pride and joy because you see
They were made by his daughter who was
twenty three.
Although nearly always drunk with ale
He would never refuse telling a child a tale.
For he was good, and terribly kind
And a more sincere man would be hard to
find.

AN EVENING I WELL REMEMBER
The hall was darker
Than ever before
As a shimmer of white
Went past my door
I lay for a moment
While all was still
Then 1 heard a crash
And down she fell.
This was my sister
My wonderful sister
The one I loved so well
But never more to see
Or never more to hear
She went through the doors
The huge french doors
Leading out to the patio.

TURNS AGAIN HOME
I walk through the cool sloping shadows
Violet-tipped, emerald, indigo.
And watch the soft smudges of the bats,
Wifting through the moistness.
And count the soft-glowing chips embedded
In the coal dust of the sky.
Great Bear, arching mistily downwards.
To dip from the dark rain -pocked face of the
lake.
And I fell the soft whisper of the owl, side
slipping softly.
Into the shadows of the oaks,
I hear the rabbit scream.
I touch the wind ruffling softly through my
hair,
Feeling it lift each lock, and slip questing
fingers
Over my head, my ears, my throat.
I breathe the night, the smell of damp grass.
And see the rain-washed violet faces, purple
and dog-tooth.
And sense the earthworms fleeing from m y
step.
Were they all that swift? Did I perhaps kill?
Each leaf lifting, shaking free of its tear-
drop burden,
Slipping back into place.
A shower of heavy tears joining the night,
pattering upon the earth.
"Where is the eagle", I wonder,
I saw him during the long day, hanging high.
Wheeling, swinging-suspended in the sun.
Lifted by the wind, lifted by . , . who knows.
Striding through the butter-gold sky.
Is he huddled in his aerie, shaking the rain
from his browness?
Or does he too, lift his silvery head.
Feeling the cooling comfort of the rain,
"^1 joying its gentle stroking.
Does he feel the compassionate purity.
Hear the chiming silence?
I wonder.
And does he feel, in his solitary nest, the
loneness,
The empty solitude I know?
I walk the long lane between the stooping
trees,
(Are they reaching for me?)
Toward the empty house.
And leave, my life, sleeping on the hillside.
Under the caressing hands
Of the rain.

BUGAMARIA WITH THE BEATLES
"I wanna hold your hand"
Comes from a famous song.
Sung by four swinging creatures
From a crazy, swinging land.
Home for them is Liverpool,
Clothes for them are tight.
Hair for them is shaggy.
Life for them is bright.
Married John's the founder,
George plays lead guitar,
Paul's the girls' favorite
While their drummer's Ringo Starr.
Life is work but fun and fame.
Dreamy looks have all;
Concludes- for us their famous name -
Of course they are the Beatles.
The Beatles are a lively group
That bring loud screams galore.
Their name is found in every home
But what does it stand for?
B's for bedlam,
E marks ecstacy,
A's for attire,
T shows talent,
L brings liveliness,
E's for eagerness and
S - the summary of a sensation.
Thus: Four boys there came from Liver-
pool
With shaggy manes that made girls
drool
And forming the group of Beatles are-
John, Paul, George and Ringo Starr.

"TO A WILDCAT" - with apologies to Will Shakespeare
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more bright; we rightly call thee
"hot"
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of
May,
Rough roads don't faze, such darling springs
you've got.
Sometimes too fast your fourscore horses
speed
And oft the needle's 'scapes my eyes wind-
dimmed.
"Max Thirty!" This command we all must
heed.
Lest thirty pieces by the judge are skimmed.
But thy eternal glamour shall not fade.
Thy pep uplifts me like a potent drug.
1 call thee sweet as any car yet made.
But blush to hear that TV selling plug.
"The wildcat is the car the wealthy bore
Would like his friends to see outside his door."

THE MYSTERIOUS NOISE
This story begins in a deserted old town in the middle of nowhere. For some strange reason
the whole class of 4B & 4C were lost. Mrs. Laidler our faithful leader of the tribe was in a
panic stricken daze because she had lost her tea container. What would the class do without any
food in the middle of nowhere.
Mrs. Laidler lead our party into an old house. We bedded down there for the night and
hoped in the morning we could find our way home or at least find something to eat. We were
awakened by an odd whistling and scratches in the middle of the night. These noises seemed to
come from the attic. We all got up, trembling with every step we took, we went up the stair-
case and down the dark hall finally, we saw another flight of stairs. The scratches and whistling
became louder. You could almost hear everyone's heart pound. The only question in our minds
was what lay ahead. The stairs creaked with every move. At the top of the stairs a trap door
was seen. Mrs. Laidler asked for some volunteers to open it and see what the noises were. For
some queer reason I put my hand up and found myself and Pauline pushing on the door. Then it
gave away! Scared as I was, I went ahead. On the third floor there was a dusty library and I look-
ed down at the floor in horror! There were mice and rats scurrying around and scratching for
food.
The whistling noise came from the wind going fiercely through the room. I also noticed a
branch scratching against the house. These mysterious noises made everyone feel uncomfort-
able so no one went to sleep that night.
In the morning we were finally found by the police who were sent by Elmwood School to
look for us. We were all right, but a little hungry by the time we got home.

DREAMS
A DREAM OF TOMORROW
What are dreams made of.
Only angels can say.
Of substance and sunlight
Of night and of day?
A cloud passing o'er us
May change in our dreams.
To horses, and chariots
Fast-flying in the breeze.
And the sun in the heavens
While shining on high
May change oceans of blue
To gold and we sigh.
To think, how lovely.
If dreams did come true.
Would we, like the angels.
Have happiness, too?
Beverley Erlandson 5B
My Friday night lesson had just ended, and as 1
walked down the dark staircase, I began to ponder
over the scene which happened just one floor above
me. Were these ballet lessons really worth it?
Were the tired muscles and aching toes ever going
to help my career? Were the clumsy hands of the
boys ever going to lift me to stardom? It did not
seem likely. I was just one in a million who took
ballet lessons to become graceful and walk properly.
At least that is what my friends at school thought.
But to me those ballet lessons meant some -thing
different. I did not know what, and that was why I
was undecided. Sometimes I felt that I wanted to go
on, and at others I felt that it was all worthless, I
did not know what I wanted.
The cold air outside refreshed me because I
was hot and tired. As I walked home through the
snow, I forgot about those ballet lessons.
When I reached the front door of our house I
was feeling better and so entered. I had my supper,
did some homework, then prepared for bed. Just as
my tired limbs fell onto the soft mattress, I realized
how nice my bed felt to my sore muscles.
The Sandman came that night, and with him he
brought a most wonderful dream.
I
It was opening night, and backstage the per-
formers were running about madly in the last three
minutes before the performance. My partner and I
were practising a lift which we sometimes falter-
ed on. I wore a beautiful blue tutu, trimmed with
silver. My hair was piled on top of my head, and
around it was a silver tiara, I had never had any-
thing so lovely. Inside I was shaking, but I could not
let myself show it - I musn't!
The music began. I watched the others take their
cues and wished each 'Good luck".
Then came my cue, before I knew it I was on the
stage. I stopped in the centre and began to dance. My
arms, as if by magic, rose above my head and formed
an arc. On and on I went, my feet flying before nie,
I danced faster and faster. My head spun, I jumped,
and pointed, and bent and whirled. Suddenly my part-
ner's firm hands were about my waist and he lifted
me up higher - higher until I rose to a towering
height. From there I seemed to float back onto the
stage, and with a grand spin I left it.
The music stopped, and I stood behind the curtains
in glorious triumph as the audience clapped and cheer-
ed, I took an encore again and again. Finally it stop-
ped and I stood behind the curtain with tears of joy
trickling down my face. I was a success!
I sat up in bed, and felt my cheeks. They were
wet with tears. It was then that Iknewthat the lessons
were worth it.

A MAN IN THE RAIN
There once was a great man.
And famous is He
Who hung in the rain.
On the wood of a tree.
He did not complain once;
Not angry was He.
He spoke not of pain once.
It should have been me.
Hanging there with the nails
In His hands - hurt was He -
Going right through His feet, too;
Not there should He be.
His place is on God's right hand,
God's dear Son is He,
Who suffered and died there
That we might be free.
The rain did not cool Him,
But joyful was He,
On hearing from a thief.
Hanging, too, on a tree.
The thief begged forgiveness
For his sons, did he.
Jesus did bless him
Because of his plea.
The rain teemed down harder!
In great pain was He. . .
Then. . .heaven's gates opened
Our Saviour - the key.
Maureen O'Neill 4A
fashioned in a soft ring at the neckline, is
designed to flatter it's discriminating wearer.
A flare at the back is another fashion extra
for Fall wear. The three-quarter length
sleeves afford ample opportunity for you to
display your new kid gloves received last
Christmas from Aunt Mabel! And, another
wonderful feature - even you smaller ladies
may wear this entrancing garment now. The
sizes begin VERY low, just for you and are
easily graduated until the "big-sister" sizes
are reached. The cost of such a treasure
as this is indeed amazingly low - lower than
you would think ever possible for such a
priceless possession.
This garment is also available in luscious
Black Persian Lamb with a misty grey mink
collar - very smart and flattering. But , , ,
such gifts as these cannot last long. So the
next time you are down town shopping or on
a luncheon date, do take a moment and come
in to see us. We would be so glad if you did,
and we are sure you would be too! Luxury
can be yours.

BALLAD OF THE LOVE OF THE LITTLE
MERMAID
It was the time of deathly storms
Upon the open sea.
When rose a mermaid from its depths
And scanned this strange countrie.
She was a nymph of golden curl;
A siren voice had she.
A pearl-white tail of cockle scale
Enhanced her strange beauty,
Toweard the we^t lay a ship at rest.
And dark clouds to the east.
Upon the deck, a noble knight
Kept company at a feast.
Fast to his vessel swam the maid,
Fast did her sea-heart beat.
Oh, why was she not meant to be
A land maid blest with feet?
Alas, alas, the sky grew black;
The waves rose strong and high.
The little mermaid knew she then
Her bold knight's fate was nigh.
The ship she reeled and sank below
And all the crew but one.
The youthful knight, he swam the night
'Till the dawn of the morning sun.
The mermaid heard him breathe his last;
Her arms around him twined.
Salt tears of sorrow stained her cheeks
As she sank to join her kind.

THE HUMANE SOCIETY TO THE RESCUE
November seems to be the most despress ing month, and as 1 walked along the wet, rough,
little country road, my thoughts wandered to the pleasant summer months. The tall trees, black
from the recent rain, stood gaunt and still against the gray, bleak heavens. Everything around
looked dull and colourless. Yet suddenly, 1 saw a spot of colour ahead. As I approached it, I
realized that it was a little lump of fiery red. Stooping over it, I was startled by two glazed,
lifeless black eyes staring back at me, along a sharply pointed nose. A fox! It was lean and
bony, and its rich fur was now matted and soiled by the recent rain. For five minutes 1 watched
it, half -afraid; and still it didn't move. With fresh fear, I slowly became aware of the fact that
it was dead. Giving a cry of pity, I ran down to the nearest kiosk, and phoned the Ottawa Humane
Society, telling them the approximate area. Then Isat sadly beside the poor little creature, and
waited for the truck to arrive. The small blue vehicle removed the body to the Shelter, while 1
watched until 1 could no longer see the shining white cross; walking home meanwhile in a very
depressed state of mind.
Next day, 1 visited the shelter on Bayview Road, and was informed that the fox had died of
starvation. However, a much more alarming fact had been determined, the fox was female and
was obviously nursing. Tears ran down my face as 1 was told how she had died looking for food
which she could turn into milk for her babies. The cycle of nature had to continue, despite all,
and so the brave mother was forgotten in the endeavour to locate and save her fox kittens: I
was happy only in knowing that the creature's purpose was being recognized and realized.
I asked if I could accompany them on the hunt, and was amazed by the clever methods in
which they traced all tracks to her den. I knew a lot about baby animals, but I was totally un-
prepared for the sight which met my eyes.
Curled up in one great ball were three furry, red lumps of downy fur and fat little paws.
They could not have been more than a week old and their eyes were still closed. Picking one up,
I felt a lot of protruding bones and sharp facial features; too sharp for anything so tiny. One
man gave them prepared milk he had brought along because he knew they would be starving.
We lifted them into the truck, and 1 was allowed to cuddle them to warm them up, on the way
home.
After that 1 went almost every day to the Shelter to feed them, and look after them. I
viewed with joy their reactions to their first sight of the world, and their first trip out of their
cage. So it was that December, January and February passed by, with me becoming more and
more devoted to these creatures.
During these months 1 worked very closely with the Humane Society, and was amazed by
their capability, and their gentle understanding of animals. The creatures at the Shelter were
loved, and well -treated, as well as being given every opportunity to recover from illness, or to
find a new home.
But now the foxes playful nips and friendly scratchings became increasingly sharp, and yet
I almost cried when 1 was told they would have to be released on the first warm, sunny day.
Two weeks later, the day on which my little friends were to be started on a new life, arrived.
1 dressed slowly, deliberately, spending most of the long bus -ride into town in a moody
reverie over the past few blissful moriths
At the country meadow, however, my sadness was forgotten for a while as we had a last
grand frolic.
All too soon the truck was needed on duty, so we reluctantly started towards it, shooing the
young foxes away. For a while they stood there, cocking their heads in a quizzical manner. Then,
realizing that they were free, they dashed away across the field. I watched them until they were
only specks of fiery brown in the morning sun. As they disappeared, 1 realized that the cycle
of nature was forever being continued, and that the Humane Society was playing a major role
in the play of life.

This is the winning essay in the Humane Society Essay Contest, Rockcliffe Park Section,
Grade 8. Vicky's essay brought the much prized Cruikshank Trophy back to Elmwood.
LOVE
Ah, love, art thou so ruthless as to have no pity
For one as desolate as I? With thy unsounded
Bounty, yet not a drop for me? Art thou so weak
And proud in all thy fullness that even such a wretch
As 1. cannot from thy abundant store be spared
An atom of thy graces? O cursed passion!
Thou'st cleft an anguished heart in twain, tormented, plagued.
Afflicted tender feelings; hurled thoughts into an
Abyss, whose profound and murky depths, void of all
The warmth of light; envelope me with distressing
Dark; scourge me with unceasing pain; distraught, a heart.
Bereft of any hope, lies throbbing at my feet;
Forlorn, a soul cries out and flees the night in vain
Thus loveless youth is as life without promise: empty, worthless.

ANXIOUS MOMENTS
The young man sat waiting in the next
room wishing it was all over. For three days
it had been like this and now he was pale
and haggard. Yesterday evening he had slipped
into unconciousness only to be rudely a-
wakened by the telephone. It had been a call
saying that it was about to happen. These
last few hours had been the longest he had
ever spent. Everyone had been kind, cheerful
and happy but he couldn't feel as they did.
Now some intuition was telling him that it
couldn't be a simple operation and something
was sure to happen.
A lump rose in his throat. He wished he
had never been Sorn. They had both wanted it
however, so now here he was in the waiting-
room, the floor beside him littered with finger
nails and cigarette butts. He thought he heard
footsteps in the hall but it was his imagi-
nation.
How long had it been since the last
telephone call the evening before? One year,
or just seven hours? How many days in an
hour?
Then as he lit another cigarette and found
it to be his last, he did hear footsteps in
the hall. He jumped up in eager anticipation.
No, not the one he had been waiting for, just
another young man, perhaps in his late
thirties. Disappointed he slowly dropped to his
seat again. To take his mind off the present
problem, he studied this new arrival. He
didn't like his suit of tie. (Anything to keep
his mind off it) His hair was too greasy,
(Anything .... and. . . . )
Again he jumped up and breathed deeply.
As he was about to sit once more, he saw
a nurse poke her smiling face in the door.
"It's a boy, Mr. McLean," she said.
Jennifer Chaplin 4A
SONNET
(English or Shakespearian)
Excitement dulled while doubt pervades the
air
Committees must their myriad tasks arrange
And standers - bye suggest as we despair,
"Let's talk about the formal for a change!"
Oh yes, a few can talk with peace of mind
About the dress, the boy, the coiffure chic.
But many dates and gowns have yet to find;
They listen, hating this complacent clique.
The weeks slip by in no time; tension grows;
The art room trembles in last minute rush
The night before, for sixth form no repose;
In vain the staff commands their voices hush
The evening comes, the load, it seems, of
years
Chased by sweet music softly disappears.

MY BEATLE
I've had a little Beatle, Ringo is his name.
And I've listened to his drum beats with all
my might and main.
But Laidler threw my Beatle out!
She went and threw my Beatle out!
And Ringo ran away!
She said that she was sorry, but to bring
niarks up to par
All the Beatles had to go,
Including Ringo Starr.
